Arizona's Eduardo Rodriguez pitched seven scoreless innings after suffering his first loss of the season against the Rockies last weekend. Colorado took advantage after he left, tying it at 1 in the eighth when Juan Morrillo hit Tyler Freeman with the bases loaded. Paul Sewald (1-4) worked a perfect ninth and Juan Mejia (0-4) walked two in the bottom half. Carroll lined a single to right on a 2-2 count and Gabriel Moreno beat the throw to the plate for Arizona's second walk-off win in three games. Ketel Marte hit a winning two-run homer in the Diamondbacks' 5-3 victory over San Francisco on Tuesday. Carroll also drove in a run on a fielder's choice in the sixth inning for Arizona's first five -game winning streak since June 9-14, 2025. Rodriguez didn't allow a hit until Ezequiel Tovar's bloop double just inside the line in right. Jake McCarthy followed with a one-out infield single, but Rodriguez made a nifty play to throw out Tovar at the plate on Braxton Fulford's safety squeeze. The left-hander got Troy Johnston to fly out to end the inning with two on and induced an inning-ending double play in the sixth after the Rockies hit two weak singles. Zach Agnos got his first career start when the Rockies opted for a bullpen game to give right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano an extra day's rest. The right-hander lasted a career-high five innings, allowing a hit with four strikeouts and a walk.

Up next Rockies RHP Tomoyuki Sugano (4-3, 4.02 ERA) was set to face RHP Michael Soroka (6-2, 3.49) in the second game of the series Friday night. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB
